Playtime

Yesterday Austin spent some time talking on the phone and counting his money...a sign of things to come perhaps?

This morning Gavin wrote a book called "The Story of Sir Gavin and Sir Austin".  It was a tale about Sir Gavin and Sir Austin fighting together to win a joust and defeat the 'bad knight' and having a great banquet thrown to honor their bravery.  It had five chapters, i.e. pages.

They spent the rest of today playing with the knights Gavin got yesterday for his birthday...because you can never have too many knights, right?  These are Playmobil knights so they have all kinds of weapons that are interchangable and horses, armor, etc. that can all be taken off and on.  Gavin loves this but it makes me nervous because of all the small pieces.  Anyway, they came with a cannon and a flaming catapault.  Austin loves the catapault and it didn't take him any time at all to figure out how to work the thing.

Gavin lost one of his flaming cannonballs behind the Christmas tree and had to retreive it.

Then the boys spent a little time playing together with the dinosaurs.
